USCIS has apparently been working on fixing some of the many things that went awry with the new website (see news item below). In the meanwhile for those desperate souls looking for info that disappeared into the ether from the old site, we have learned that the old site can be accessed here: http://149.101.23.2/graphics/index.htm (at least for now!).

We welcome readers to share their opinion and ideas with us by writing to editor@ilw.com.

Coming to America Immigrants, Baseball and the Contributions of Foreign-Born Players to Americaís PastimeStuart Anderson and L. Brian Andrew write "While politicians continue to debate immigration policies, there is little question among baseball fans that immigrants have positively transformed Americaís pastime. In the first comprehensive study of baseball and immigration, the National Foundation for American Policy examined both historical records and 2006 rosters. The report finds the impact of foreign-born players on major league baseball is at an all-time high. The study concludes Americans have benefited from our nationís openness toward skilled immigrant baseball players, just as the country has gained from the entry of other skilled foreign-born professionals."
